Engaging Black sexual minority women in breast cancer research: Lessons in community partnerships.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBlack sexual minority women (BSMW) face significant breast cancer health inequities and are underrepresented in health research because of historical and present-day exclusion. However, there exists no peer-reviewed literature on best practices for the inclusion of BSMW in cancer research. "Our Breast Health: The Access Project" was a national primary data collection study in June 2018 through October 2019 that aimed to identify facilitators and barriers to breast cancer care among BSMW, and that successfully recruited the highest number of BSMW for any national breast cancer screening study at the time of its publication.
methodsThe present analysis highlights best practices for reaching BSMW by examining by how effective various recruitment sources were at recruiting BSMW. Recruitment partners were grouped into several categories: (1) cancer focused, (2) Black women or sexual minority women focused, (3) BSMW focused, (4) social media, and (5) other. Then logistic regression was used to estimate the odds that a particular recruitment source category could recruit BSMW compared with other categories.
resultsPartnerships with community-based organizations led by and intended for BSMW were the most successful at recruiting BSMW, demonstrating the importance of an intersectional approach to recruitment. Community-based organizations focused on BSMW specifically were 26 times more successful in recruiting BSMW to the study compared with recruiting Black women who were not sexual minorities (odds ratio, 26.43 [95% CI, 7.50-93.10]).
conclusionsSuccessful recruitment enables breast cancer research grounded in the perspectives of BSMW, which can generate key findings that have the potential to remedy longstanding health inequities for this population.
